Intel has at least two new processor families set to launch this year. Intel’s 7th-gen Core chips, code-named “Kaby Lake,” will replace the current Skylake lineup in notebooks, desktops, and high-performance tablets, while the new Celeron and Pentium chips based on “Apollo Lake” architecture are low-power, low-cost chips that will pick up where Intel’s Braswell left off… and to some degree the Apollo Lake chips carry on the legacy of the soon-to-be-defunct Intel Atom line of chips.

Amazon recently started offering Prime Exclusive Phones which are basically regular smartphones that are sold for $50 off their list price… and which come with ads that are displayed on the lock screen and in the notification tray. They also come bundled with a bunch of Amazon apps including the Amazon shopping, Kindle, Video, and Music apps.
But unsurprisingly it looks like it’s pretty easy to remove all the Amazon features from at least one of the first two Prime Eclusive phones.

The Raspberry Pi Compute Module is a tiny computer that looks like a stick of laptop memory, but which has the same processor, memory, and storage as a first-gen Raspberry Pi.
Now a new model’s on the way, and it’s based on the newer, more-powerful Raspberry Pi 3.
Raspberry Pi founder Eben Upton tells IDG News that the new model will have the same 64-bit processor as the Raspberry Pi 3, which means that it should be up to 10 times faster than its predecessor.

This website is called Liliputing, not big-PC computing, so I don’t usually pay much attention to computers with screens larger than 13.3 inches. But every now and again a deal comes along that makes me take notice.

It’s certainly not the most compact convertible notebook you can find.
